Estimating probabilities from counts with a prior of uncertain reliability
... distribution, P (A) = λ exp(−λA), with mean 1/λ, might be appropriate. Fortunately, we can often avoid selecting an explicit hyperprior. In practice, given sufficient data, the probability of that data P (n|A) is a smooth, sharply peaked function of A. This is illustrated in figure 1 using 107 obser ...

In particular, in [9] the authors introduce a series of tools and techniques that, later in [10], turned R out to be fundamental for the determination of the probability distribution of X f (x)P̃(dx) when P ...
